Always a range of emotions I feel when I see Steve in an interviewing context. I find it extremely difficult to process how Steve was not only lucid, he is sober, he has such an infectious laugh, he is so shy - innocent. This genius really was one of musics greatest modern day Mozart's. He just had it all - the complete package. Leppards lack of chart success after he passed evidence enough just how critical Steve was as a creative force, lyrics, melodies, harmonies, riffs, bends, hooks, he bleeds through his guitars. Ross Halfin, who I would argue picked, or 'identified' Steve right from 1977-1978 and has taken 'the' most amazing set of live and pre shot pictures of Steve, that Steve let Halfin so close says a lot about their trust/relationship - Halfin imo rightly slams Steve's father for most if not all of the problems Steve had. All Steve ever wanted to do, it drove him, haunted him relentlessly - was to get his fathers nod, his appreciation and recognition. He never did receive that love. Halfin is scathing of his father and blames him for Steve's ultimate death. Videos like this are just incalculably special - they show the world a tiny snippet of a man who really could have gone on and done anything. Some real incalculable solace is as fact Steve left such lyrical and musical gifts not only for Leppard to tour off - he also left the world something stunningly special. Musicians like Steve do not come along often. Even the great EVH could not write lyrics even if he had everything else down pat. Steve died of a broken heart, I cannot even imagine the never ending grief his Mother had/has to endure. Thank you so much for this video. You do some really special 'Riffmaster' vlogging. Keep it up.
Halfin doesn't understand alcoholism....So he is saying if Steve got his fathers nod, Steve would have been happy?....It doesn't work like that for most people. It's like this...when you are widly successful and you don't get your parents "nod" you say to yourself "Well, that is on them. I am happy with my life and success" and you go on and live your life. That's how people who know how to live life handle stuff like that. A LOT of people have shitty parents and they don't drink themselves to death. Alcholism, at its core, is the lack of ability to handle life.
thanks for the reply, but I reckon I will stick with Ross. But you do make some really good points. The BBC telemovie which unlike that fact free BS 'The Dirt' the Leppard BBC movie especially the very early years was factually spot on, you can see how Steve ONLY ever wanted his Fathers approval, nothing he did was ever enough, unlike the other band members parents who fully supported and encouraged them, only Steve's Mum was his rock. On Steve - aint much I do not know about him being humbly objective, never met him so there is that context, but his career - one can and does ALWAYS learn more and I will about this shy genius, but I'm 110% certain what I post about this tortured genius is fact. Great stuff mate, thanks.@@ashevillecomputer201
I respectfully disagree. WHY did Steve start deinking/partying? Maybe to get relief from the pain of his father dismissing him and his talent? Maybe feeling that he could never be fully accepted by his family, friends and band mates due to his early upbringing of never pleasing his dad? Early programming as kids influences our lives regardless of whether we are actively aware od it or not. On a personal level, my dad abandoned my mom and me when I was 3 years old. If you think that hasn't affected every male relationship in my life since then you would be sorely mistaken. It has also affected my relationship with food because on the rare occasion he visited, he gave me piles of sweets and often encouraged me to eat to enjoy them even when I wasn't hungry. It's taken me decades to overcome that programming but I'm still effed up in some ways. Anyway, I think Steve's problems were more than just partying too hard. @@ashevillecomputer201
Damn all of them are so hot. I love Joe’s jokes even though they probably didn’t understand much of what he was saying. Also Steve looks adorable. I miss him and that beautiful smile of his 💝💝💝💝💝also Rick is so wholesome I can’t 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Det är den vackraste låt som någonsin har skapats av den största gittarist låtskrivare och musiker och jag kommer aldrig någonsin att glömma eller överleva det som hände med dig Steve du finns föraltid I mitt hjärta och själ varje sekund dag som natt och ingen ting kan någonsin ändra eller ersätta det ❤😢
The ones that still do this interview Steve and Rick go to cozy room right after until death, except Steve doesn't die and just stuck in there. Neither one can if the audience is very close to stage anymore I have plenty of both of them. Too serious and real that they saw everything up to now here. No exceptions They need to watch the video of me designing the first cozy room and how pissed Steve got not being able to teleport out Only applies to real Steve Clark and real Rick Savage. I cant call those ones my human vampire because they won't become one

@@ashevillecomputer201
His problem was not the bands acceptance it was the alchol had such a strong hold on Steve that he just could not let it go.
@@ashevillecomputer201
Not true. Alcohol sometimes gets its hold on one so bad that they just cannot get away from it.
So cute. Here have a crisp. Surprise🎉🎉🎉
She got a great laugh
Go ahead and tell ya,Joe is the man sticks up for his band ,like Bros ,if you see this man ,right on dude
I dig that eyebrow chic
I would die if I could sit with the guys, especially Joe, and have a fun conversation like this. I have so many questions.
Remarkable how Steve continues to steal the show with RUclips viewers who watch these videos specifically to see Steve alive and well.
Steve Clark is my fav Def Leppard guitarist. He made that Def Leppard sound!
They awsawm
Wow they sound exactly like the record in this performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really retard
Lollol
Damn all of them are so hot. I love Joe’s jokes even though they probably didn’t understand much of what he was saying. Also Steve looks adorable. I miss him and that beautiful smile of his 💝💝💝💝💝also Rick is so wholesome I can’t 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Det är den vackraste låt som någonsin har skapats av den största gittarist låtskrivare och musiker och jag kommer aldrig någonsin att glömma eller överleva det som hände med dig Steve du finns föraltid I mitt hjärta och själ varje sekund dag som natt och ingen ting kan någonsin ändra eller ersätta det ❤😢
I love the pets hope boys
I only care about steve, coolest guitarist ever
Why so sensual? Haha.
Is there some tension between Joe and the interviewer?
yes but it’s probably one sided haha, the girl looks like she’s totally in love with him
Looks like he can't resist inhaling her a bit haha
I was wondering the same thing...lol.
He may find her pretty and attractive but out of his league age wise. Like on the too young side. Maybe. IMO
@@musicmedicne....
What girl wouldn't be . ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm gonna keep writing shit lol but seriously I remember all this and it took this long to really appreciate it, fuck in a fellas
This is not live as i compared it l with the original sound it’s ditto. Same case with top of pops- lip syncing
unfortunately they played the hysteria track over it. but in my title i meant that the performance was live not the audio
@@musicmedicne it’s still very well synced; wonder why is this case with top of the pops too back in the 80s, same with Bryan Adams, Europe, etc
The ones that still do this interview Steve and Rick go to cozy room right after until death, except Steve doesn't die and just stuck in there. Neither one can if the audience is very close to stage anymore I have plenty of both of them.
Too serious and real that they saw everything up to now here. No exceptions
They need to watch the video of me designing the first cozy room and how pissed Steve got not being able to teleport out
Only applies to real Steve Clark and real Rick Savage. I cant call those ones my human vampire because they won't become one
I wonder if Joe got an eye lift. He almost had oriental shaped eyes. Very distinctive
Ya loud Joe
tf is this
ur mom
